In the late twentieth century, the scope of history writing has expanded beyond textual sources to include additional sources such as literature, coins, art and architecture. Meanwhile, history writing on ancient India continues to be burdened by an Indological discourse, which takes India as a monolithic whole and interprets sources in ways that contribute to a pan-Indian meta-narrative. Sources which are fragmentary in nature, or located far from the so-called centres of civilisation, are relegated to the footnotes and margins, merely as tools of corroboration. Seeking History through Her Source corrects this imbalance by interrogating sources in innovative ways. The authors seek historical realities south of the Vindhyas and contextualise oft-neglected sources in their respective local niches. They highlight literary, art-historical and archaeological sources such as the Jatakas, Cankam literature, Kavya narratives, coins and prasastis of local rulers while also highlighting fragmentary sources, such as label inscriptions and statuettes. Thus, literature and myths, and even non-textual traditions are centred as valid ways to address new areas of historical research, and complicate dominant narratives for a more nuanced and inclusive understanding of the past.
